Her brother, sprawled out on his pillows beside her, never noticed. His mind was away across the narrow sea. “We won’t need his whole khalasar,” Viserys said. His fingers toyed with the hilt of his borrowed blade, though Dany knew he had never used a sword in earnest. “Ten thousand, that would be enough, I could sweep the Seven Kingdoms with ten thousand Dothraki screamers. The realm will rise for its rightful king. Tyrell, Redwyne, Darry, Greyjoy, they have no more love for the Usurper than I do. The Dornishmen burn to avenge Elia and her children. And the smallfolk will be with us. They cry out for their king.” He looked at Illyrio anxiously. “They do, don’t they?”
她那斜臥在身旁枕頭上的哥哥對此倒是渾然不覺，他的心思早飛到狹海彼端去了。「我們用不著他整個卡拉薩，」韋賽里斯說，手指頭把弄著那把借來寶劍的劍柄，然而丹妮知道哥哥從未認真學過劍術。「只要一萬人，我想就夠了。有這一萬名多斯拉克哮吼武士，我便可以橫掃七國全境。諸侯王族會紛紛起而效尤，追隨他們真正的國王。提利爾、雷德溫、戴瑞、葛雷喬伊等家族和我一樣對'篡奪者'沒有好感，南境各恩領的人早就滿腔怒火，要為伊莉亞公主和她的孩子們復仇。更別提平民百姓了，他們會發出正義的怒吼，為國王奮戰。」他有點緊張地看看伊利里歐，「他們會這么做吧？」
“They are your people, and they love you well,” Magister Illyrio said amiably. “In holdfasts all across the realm, men lift secret toasts to your health while women sew dragon banners and hide them against the day of your return from across the water.” He gave a massive shrug. “Or so my agents tell me.”
「他們是你的子民，也對你愛戴有加，」伊利里歐總督和顏悅色地回答：「全國上下的農莊村舍里，男人偷偷舉杯向你致敬，女人則暗中縫制頁龍旗幟，等待你率軍渡海之日。」他聳聳那寬闊的肩，「我的手下是這麼說的。」
Dany had no agents, no way of knowing what anyone was doing or thinking across the narrow sea, but she mistrusted Illyrio’s sweet words as she mistrusted everything about Illyrio. Her brother was nodding eagerly, however. “I shall kill the Usurper myself,” he promised, who had never killed anyone, “as he killed my brother Rhaegar. And Lannister too, the Kingslayer, for what he did to my father.”
丹妮沒有手下，也無從得知狹海對岸人們究竟在想些什么，做些什麼，但是她不相信伊利里歐這個人，也不相信他的甜言蜜語。然而哥哥卻很熱切地頷首同意。「我要親自手刃篡奪者，」他立下宏愿，也沒想過自己從來沒殺過人。「像他當年殺我哥哥一樣。還有那個蘭尼斯特家的'弒君者'，我要為父王報仇。」
